Ive read the guardian review and it felt like a bash rather than a review.:neyde:

The guy who wrote it is a Britney stan who has a whole article about how Britney is an amazing 'vocalist' on Glory. I think it's best to take it with a pinch of salt. :toofunny:

The tweets in case y'all were wondering:

Really? Okay I feel better about that one now lol. 

It's a shame that these publications hire people that are so obviously bias...

To be fair, she does serve some nice vocals on Glory :diane:

Glad to hear PI's being received with open arms. It's well deserved! :music:

The Guardian aside (they've always been haters), they're pretty positive.  

Just checked the twitter from the guy who reviewd it, it was his debut on the guardian :saladga: and I said u r a hater you shouldnt give it a review and he said he's a big fan and his expectations were high :madge:

 The real Perfect Illusion isn’t love; it’s a blank metaphor her voice tries and fails to imbue with meaning.    This is the best part.:awkney:

Saint Laurent

Why is she held to such an insane standard?

Don't get me wrong I love Adele, but are these: 

'Hello, it's me
I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya
But I ain't done much healing'

REALLY HONESTLY TRULY, better lyrics than these:

'Tryin' to get control
Pressure's takin' its toll
Stuck in the middle zone
I just want you alone
My guessing game is strong
Way too real to be wrong
Caught up in your show
Yeah, at least now I know'

I mean, is Perfect Illusion a songwriting masterpiece? Absolutely not, but neither is ANY of the music currently out.

The Sia comparison was ridiculous, Sia 100% uses pitch correction, I don't know why they're trying to pretend she doesn't.

-

They complain about Gaga being conservative during the past couple of years. First of all, do you expect her to perform a Sound of Music medley at the Oscars wearing an outrageous outfit? Secondly, if she were still wearing outrageous outfits they would say she isn't evolving as an artist. Not to mention they bashed her 'Gaganess' earlier in the article anyway.
